The program ended with a presentation to the board of al- most 100 works of student art donated to the board for perma- nent display at the Education Centre. Following the ceremo- ny, light refreshments were rovided courtesy of Beaver Foods who service the cafeteri- asin the centre, as well as many of our schools. During the open house por- tion of the afternoon, between 700 and 1,000 members of the community, staff and their fam- ilies visited and toured the cen- tre. Entertainment was provid- ed throughout the building by groups of students who were transported through the gene- rosity of Stock, Laidlaw and Du- rhamway. Appreciation is also extended to Daicon Contractors who paid for printing of the invitations and programs. Moffet and Dun- can who paid for the beautiful banks of flowers and plants and Walters Music Centres which donated a grand piano for use during the opening. Originally the estimates were based on a 20-year debenture but the board was able to take advantage of lower interest rates and a 15-year debenture. A report was developed re- cently on the cost of leasing ver- sus ownership which estimated a total savings to the taxpayers of $4.9 million over 20 years for an Education Centre that the community will own and will have an opportunity to use and, indeed, will gain revenue for conferences and meetings from outside users. Once again, thank you to the residents of Scugog for your support in the recent election. I will continue to work very hard on our students and ratepayers behalf, to work and communi- cate with you and for you. After all, our students are our future they deserve the very best.
